I love flowering trees. Over the years we have tried to plant a variety of flowering trees around our house. We have had varying degrees of success in this endeavor. I do not have the greenest of thumbs. And I probably do not pick the best trees and or plant them in the best part of the yard, or prepare them and care for them the way they should be before and… Read More
We love to try to grow plants all around our home. The plant we have added to our yard which has grown most strongly has been this flowering cherry tree. I don’t even know how long this tree has been growing outside out house now. It has grown large and it has grown strong. This means every year if nothing else I have an opportunity to try my hand at creating new… Read More
I am really fascinated by the Northern Catalpa tree. I am currently trying to grown one in my backyard, but our dog Colton keeps eating it. The large size and interesting shape of the blossoms on the tree are visually appealing. The mostly white flower blossoms are punctuated by yellow and red patterns leading into the center of the flower blossom. Another cool feature of the Northern Catalpa is its size. Many… Read More

It all depends on what time of year you show up. I try to… Read More

The flowers planted here are starting to bloom and these beautiful flowering trees are in full bloom. These trees are bright and majestic. I love them. There don’t seem to be many places I have come… Read More
Flowers are always beautiful. Flowering trees have a special allure to them. And even more fantastical are wild growing flowering trees. Wild Dogwood Trees are among my favorite plants. I appreciate every opportunity I have to photograph their beautiful blossoms. The flowers don’t last very long after they emerge in early spring. I am fortunate enough to have some that grow right near my house, but I am always excited to be… Read More
My favorite flowering tree is the Dogwood. I especially like the wild variety. Non cultivated. Growing in the forest. The Dogwoods is one of the earliest flowering trees I see in the spring. Blossoms on the trees are fleeting. If you don’t pay attention and look for them you may not ever see them. The flower of a Dogwood tree is relatively large. And the flower spreads out and curves. Dogwood flower… Read More
